Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Fruit flies jump when startled by a sudden decrease in light intensity. We show that this visually-induced jump response in Drosophila melanogaster is sensitive to three general anesthetic agents: halothane, enflurane, and methoxyflurane. The concentration of anesthetic required to inhibit this response is similar to that needed for the inhibition of other assays in flies and other organisms. We believe the simplicity of this assay coupled with the insight gained from the more complex electrophysiological monitoring of the same neural pathway will be of value in the genetic identification of the molecular target of volatile anesthetics.
